Invalid usage of new-style type parameters and type aliases

Reports invalid usage of PEP 695 type parameter syntax

Finds the following problems in function and class definitions and new-style type alias statements:

  • Extending typing.Generic in new-style generic classes

  • Extending parameterized typing.Protocol in new-style generic classes

  • Using generic upper bounds and constraints with type parameters for ParamSpec and TypeVarTuple

  • Mixing traditional and new-style type variables

  • Using traditional type variables in new-style type aliases

Examples:

from typing import Generic class Example[T](Generic[T]): ... # Classes with type parameter list should not extend 'Generic'
class Example[T: (list[S], str)]: ... # Generic types are not allowed inside constraints and bounds of type parameters
from typing import TypeVar K = TypeVar("K") class ClassC[V]: def method2[M](self, a: M, b: K) -> M | K: ... # Mixing traditional and new-style TypeVars is not allowed
